Yesterday he followed it up with another post on the Crisálida de Colmillo de Sangre.\r\rJust a simple question that they won't answer: Will the mount be unique or will it show up reskinned elsewhere? If it's unique, I'll buy it. If it's not, I won't.\r\rWhat conceivable reason could they have to not answer something so simple? So frustrating.\rThe only reason is that it's difficult to make absolute "never"-type statements with confidence. We have no plans to offer a recolor or highly-similar version of the Crisálida de Colmillo de Sangre, as we agree that it would undermine the value of the mount (highly debatable though it may be) if there were easily-obtainable variants.\r\rBut in the distant future? Who knows. Maybe some day we make a spider expansion, all about spiders, complete with a playable arachnid race (this is where I alienate all the arachnophobes who were grateful for my first post in this thread), and there are spider mounts everywhere. So I can't say "never." \r\rBut in general, we feel that we've diluted the impact of some of our mounts by offering numerous variants of the same base creature. It's appropriate for some creatures, especially where it feels like a prominent part of the natural fauna of a new continent (e.g. all the various Proto-Drakes in Wrath, or Cloud Serpents in Mists), but when something is unusual we should try to keep it that way. A mount like the Ratrotón should also remain unique for the foreseeable future.

Those stills all look amazing! Can't wait for this film. Don't know what all these people claiming "bad CGI" are taking about, the CGI looks amazing. Clearly they just want something to complain about, because I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. I'm not trying to say everyone should agree with me, but if there truly was something wrong with it, I wouldn't hesitate to be brutally honest. It's puzzling how so many Warcraft fans clearly just want this film to fail so badly that they'll invent problems it doesn't have, simply because of the track record films based on games have.\r\rVery interested in the context of the still showing the Horde standing behind Lothar in a seemingly supportive fashion. Will be very intriguing as to what is happening during that scene. Perhaps they're Durotan sympathisers, and a small splinter group is formed? Who knows? But I can't wait to find out.

This whole 2 million gold mount thing is idiotic, the response has been terrible, splits the playerbase even more, and the defense by watcher was basically a middle finger to anyone who disagreed after trying to justify it by connecting it to mounts with actual value. They just should have never made it in the first place, put a new vendor mount there and I would expect not even half as many people would have complained. Its almost like Blizzard enjoys stirring the pot , pissing people off, and distracting the base from their bad class decisions. They should run for Congress.

Honestly, I don't really care how high the price is for that mount, as myself I am an arachnophobe, it's just a mount. I can see why people are upset by the massive price tag on it, that is if you're a mount hoarder and like collecting mounts from every expac. It doesn't really make a difference to me, but it's the same deal with the Grand Yak and other expensive mounts, if you really want it, just farm the gold. If this mount will be an expense equivalent to how the other mounts were in their expansions, then I imagine that gold will be easier to get and the same difficulty as it was before.

Some people are just upset that they can't afford it. It's a mount FFS, big deal if not everyone can get it.

The 2m gold spider is pure bull%^&*. It's just a spider (cool model, yes, but that's all) and it is 10x the expedition yak's mount. They should add some features (i.e. making possible to crawl on walls) to make worth the cost or the spider might be bought only by the ones who capped the gold already in WoD. As for me, I wouldn't save that much gold on a spider neither the 100k for the toy. I don't find them as worth the effort as the yak or even cheaper mounts like the Vial of the Sands.

the whole point about CGI is that the quality drops as it gets more obvious and easier to spot.

Aside from that, there isn't really much times where the CGI gets spotted at first glance or the green screen gets really obvious,

They try to reduce amount of gold circling in the world this way. Less golds less gametime tokens, more real money subs.

QQ the mount is too expensive... Solution? Don't buy it. Problem solved!\r\rIt's the only spider mount in the game though. If you want a spider mount and aren't some longtime AH tycoon or multi-garrison runner, you're screwed.

Less golds less gametime tokens, more real money subs.\r\rthat makes no sense why would they want less people to buy game time tokens? if anything they want more people to buy them so they can get more money because 1 token is $20 and 1 month time is $15 so that means every time someone buys a token blizz made $5 extra dollars off a month of game time and this is not even including those who buy game tokens but would not be buying time such as my self, i have bought maybe 8 months of game time so far and i would not have paid for time the "real" way so that is $160 some one else paid for me to play

Its almost like Blizzard enjoys stirring the pot , pissing people off, and distracting the base from their bad class decisions. They should run for Congress.\r\rJust stop. A mount splitting the player base? Then that's a player base not worth worrying about. It's more like loud, temper tantrum throwing players enjoy stirring the pot and letting everyone know how pissed off they are to distract themselves from the fact they just don't like playing WoW anymore but are too stubborn to move on to another game and get on with their lives. \r\rWatcher's response, even if someone doesn't agree with it, was clearly not a middle finger. Frankly, I don't know how he or anyone else at Blizzard displays such patience and writes these long posts trying to placate all the crying over something so insignificant.\r\rI don't see myself having the gold to drop on this mount and I really wanted it after seeing it. I'll be even more disappointed if the fox mount is locked behind something that is possibly unobtainable for me personally. But I don't consider it something worth finger pointing and hollering irrationally about. I reached that point with SWTOR in December with what I felt was a disingenuous stream announcing a bad sub award system combined with A) the game direction having gone down a path I hated, and B) the only events I still had an interest in being bugged to hell. I unsubscribed the same day I had that realization that the game had crossed over into territory where I couldn't enjoy it anymore. No crying on forums, no temper tantrums, no flooding their next stream with useless spam saying OPS, OPS, OPS, OPS, OPS. I did what any reasonable adult should do to show his\/her displeasure in the loudest way possible to the providers of any product: I took my money elsewhere. If WoW ever pushes me to that point, I'll do the same. No fuss. It's only a video game at the end of the day whether I play it for 4 minutes or 4 hours a day.

Maybe it's just me but the whole, "2 million gold is outrageous rabble rabble rabble!" thing just screams entitlement to me. On the other hand, I don't see people screaming about not having access to the mythic raid mounts. Hmm.. \/shrug either way I hope people can somehow carry on with their lives and we can move past this completely unnecessary conversation.

the reason why the cgi looks so bad is because the film isn't running at 70-90 frames per second to blend it IE lotr, and films akin to this nature. This movie is still in the same vein of lotr and other high fantasy films, they opted out of the video game look which is what the higher frame rates would have achieved. Now this is just a opinion but just because your a fan doesn't mean that when you say something is bad doesn't mean you want something to fail. Also for people claiming the cgi is from one guy it is actually from a team which has its own special division's inside it. The cgi is actually handled by Industrial Light & Magic. Which have some pretty decent cgi in movies like "The Revenat" and "The Martian" now the blame isn't necessarily on the head of the team behind the cgi. It is kinda a mix of all the departments like cinematography and art department. In short the movie may do well it may not so people think it looks good and other don't it is a matter of opinion. It doesn't make someone a idiot for not agreeing with what u believe but hard evidence is you take the look of the cgi and the fact there is almost zero practicals, and it kinda makes everything looking like "For the King".
